I have a PHP script that will process the Google Recaptcha, how can I send an error back to javascript to print an error like it does for the other fields when user does not interact with the Captcha?
PHP Script:
<?php
function validateRecaptcha($secret, $clientResponse, $clientIp)
{
$data = http_build_query([
"secret" => $secret,
"response" => $clientResponse,
"remoteip" => $clientIp,
]);
$options = [
"http" => [
"header" =>
"Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
".
"Content-Length: ".strlen($data)."
",
"method" => "POST",
"content" => $data,
],
];
$response = file_get_contents(
"https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify",
false,
stream_context_create($options)
);
if($response === false)
{
return false;
}
else if(($arr = json_decode($response, true)) === null)
{
return false;
}
else
{
return $arr["success"];
}
}
$errors = array(); // array to hold validation errors
$data = array(); // array to pass back data
// validate the variables ======================================================
// if any of these variables don't exist, add an error to our $errors array
if (empty($_POST['firstName']))
$errors['firstName'] = 'First Name is required.';
if (empty($_POST['lastName']))
$errors['lastName'] = 'Last Name is required.';
if (empty($_POST['companyName']))
$errors['companyName'] = 'Company Name is required.';
if (empty($_POST['companyAddress']))
$errors['companyAddress'] = 'Company Address is required.';
if (empty($_POST['city']))
$errors['city'] = 'City is required.';
if (empty($_POST['state']))
$errors['state'] = 'State is required.';
if (empty($_POST['emailAddress']))
$errors['emailAddress'] = 'Email Address is required.';
if (empty($_POST['comment']))
$errors['comment'] = 'Comment is required.';
if (empty($_POST['g-recaptcha-response']))
$errors['captcha'] = 'Captcha is required.';
// return a response ===========================================================
// if there are any errors in our errors array, return a success boolean of false
if(empty($errors))
{
if(!validateRecaptcha($secret, $_POST['g-recaptcha-response'], $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]))
{
$errors['captcha'] = 'Captcha is required.';
}
}
if ( ! empty($errors)) {
// if there are items in our errors array, return those errors
$data['success'] = false;
$data['errors'] = $errors;
} else {
// if there are no errors process our form, then return a message
// DO ALL YOUR FORM PROCESSING HERE
// THIS CAN BE WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO (LOGIN, SAVE, UPDATE, WHATEVER)
// show a message of success and provide a true success variable
$data['success'] = true;
$data['message'] = 'Success!';
}
// return all our data to an AJAX call
echo json_encode($data);
Javascript:
// Start
$(document).ready(function() {
// process the form
$('form').submit(function(event) {
$('.form-group').removeClass('has-error'); // remove the error class
$('.help-block').remove(); // remove the error text
// get the form data
// there are many ways to get this data using jQuery (you can use the class or id also)
var formData = {
'firstName' : $('input[name=firstName]').val(),
'lastName' : $('input[name=lastName]').val(),
'companyName' : $('input[name=companyName]').val(),
'companyAddress' : $('input[name=companyAddress]').val(),
'city' : $('input[name=city]').val(),
'state' : $('input[name=state]').val(),

};
// process the form

})
// using the done promise callback

// here we will handle errors and validation messages
if ( ! data.success) {

$('#recaptcha-group').append('<div class="help-block">' + data.errors.recaptcha + '</div>'); // add the actual error message under our input
}
} else {
// ALL GOOD! just show the success message!
$('form').append('<div class="alert alert-success">' + data.message + '</div>');
// usually after form submission, you'll want to redirect
// window.location = '/thank-you'; // redirect a user to another page
}
})
// using the fail promise callback
.fail(function(data) {
// show any errors
// best to remove for production
console.log(data);
});
// stop the form from submitting the normal way and refreshing the page
event.preventDefault();
});
});

But when the form is submitted other fields are highlighted with their errors except for the recaptcha section. What am I doing wrong? What needs to be done to have an error print for the recaptcha as well?
